Fashion for When You’re Far from Home

Packing light is great. But big trips—no, dream trips, like Tokyo under a blanket of snow or showing your kid Paris for the first time—are worth a bag-check fee. Utility isn’t the objective here (though as these goop staffers will tell you, the looks don’t lack it by any means). These pieces are elevated and special, to be saved for your final destination, like, say, dinner with your child in Paris.

“Since we’ve expanded shipping to Canada (and Europe!) I’ve been so curious about Montreal. It looks equal parts fun, cultured, and romantic. It’s also cold. I love that these layers crank up the heat without looking like the typical sightseeing getup. The tote is perfect for stashing a hat and gloves.”

“This is the kind of next-level leather coat I can see myself wearing in a next-level cool European city like Berlin. And I can say the same for the black leather boots and bag, which conveniently turns into a clutch for night.”

“Going to Japan is a great excuse to experiment with shapes and colors I wouldn’t necessarily go for in my everyday life. This combination of cozy ochre coat and burgundy crossbody bag is unexpected for me but not totally out of the realm of what I would wear.”

“I don’t care that it’s cliché—Paris is my favorite city to visit. I daydream about taking my son there all the time. Denim on denim requires no effort and looks pulled together. Same goes for a crossbody bag—it’s so easy, and the cream is extra chic. This coat is what I imagine a hip Parisian maman would wear pushing a stroller through le Jardin du Luxembourg. Sonny will get a real kick out of the hot pink, too.”
